The rejuvenated 1989-1992 incarnation of Venom including guitarist Jeff Dunn, frontman Tony Dolan and drummer Anthony Bray, arrived rather unexpectedly in my inbox recently with the news of Avé;the groups first full length release, out on Nuclear Blast on 11th August. With it, they’ve now announced details of a UK Tour for this Autumn, concluding at London’s hallowed Underworld, where you shall find me on the 14th of August. “Dein Fleisch”, lifted from the forthcoming record has also been released via Nuclear Blast’s YouTube page. What a good start to the day that was!

At the tail of end of November and the very beginning of December, Northlane will embark on “The Mesmer World Tour” which includes seven UK dates accompanied byErra, Invent, Animate and Ocean Grove. After warming up on the Summer festival circuit (including a slot at Download), guitarist Josh Smith says they are “ready to bring Mesmer to the citizens of Europe and the UK with our sickest show we’ve had here to date. We can’t wait, and you can’t miss it!”. To get you in the mood for some tech-metally goodness, check out “Solar”, lifted from Mesmer, released earlier this year to welcoming reception.
